NORMAN, Okla. – Cleveland County deputies recovered more than $17,000 in cash and jewelry with just one arrest.

However, they are still looking for more property stolen from a Norman home last week and they are asking for your help.

Authorities said the homeowners told them they saw one of their family members wearing a ring stolen from their house.

Following the tip, deputies went to talk to the relative, 32-year-old Jessica L. Clark of Norman.

Deputies said when they met with Clark, she was wearing the ring reported stolen, worth about $4,000.

When they arrested her, she was carrying a backpack.

Officials said they found $16,900 cash in the bag along with oxycodone pills.

Deputies searched Clark’s home and car where they found the victim’s personal and legal papers.

Clark bonded out of jail Wednesday.
